About Me

I'm a lover of vintage times and simple elegance of another era. I'm waiting a while for my special little farmhouse. While I'm waiting, I'm making good use of my time creating lovlies with my crochet hook n thread or yarn, and baking and cooking from scratch for my family.

Take your needle my child andwork at your pattern it will come out arose by and by. Life is like that...onestitch at a time taken patiently.

For the love of Vintage

This is a vintage post of mine, now redone & updated, and also a vintage pattern...way to pretty to use as a dischcloth don't you think? Why that would be just not be right at all.. Think these would sell a craft fair? I've got two towel toppers almost complete, just need a little sewing to hook all up together. They are cute I would buy them, I'll have a hodge podge of crochet items thread and yarn, pictures we hope to come soon.

I have a question about vintage patterns, and I'll use this one as my example. I found this pattern a few years ago now, and printed it for FREE....today I wanted to link to it for you, and I came up with people who are selling the pattern? Really?

I looked in my craft pattern binder, and found the pattern and then linked to it. Here is the Free pattern shared ....for us all to enjoy....thank you Carol...

Hi Faith..thanks for sharing this pattern..I am going to print it out later. Yes, I think they will sell at your craft fair. Potholders I made with thread sold pretty well at the show I do. When is your craft sell? Blessings
